THE TOURIST

During unplanned trip to Italy to heal broken heart, an American tourist, Frank (Depp) unexpectedly find himself in a flirtatious encounter with Elise (Jolie), an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path in order to mislead all those who are following her former lover Alexander Pearce, a criminal wanted in 14 countries, whose stolen money from gangster Reginald Shaw (Berkoff) and being closely followed by Inspector John Acheson (Bettany). In contrast to mind blewing setting of Venice, Frank pursues a promising romance but soon find himself the pursued as he and Elise unwittingly thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse

Well if you are a big fan of Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, this movie is a must for you. Both actors makes for some fine eye candy in the movie and has the charisma required down pat. Plus an exotic setting like Venice which give a breathtaking view throughout the movie and Angelina Jolie's impeccable wardrobe make this movie worth a watch

It may be easy to lose concentration and interest due to alarmingly slow pace, but I think it's best you pay close attention and stick around for the ending

Even though the pace is a bit slow, I still enjoy watching this movie. From credible and heartthrobs leads to beautiful scenery and wardrobes, I love almost everything about this movie. It is for me a romantic thriller on the lighter side, providing ample rewards for those willing to play along. Sure the plot is preposterous,the chemistry is not there but hey,with Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp and Venice what more could you want from a movie?

My rating: 3.5/5
